  1. We're waiting for the rubbish truck to come past. Then the boss of the coffee shop across the road invites us over for a drink.

    We hang out for an hour or so, chatting about the boss's tropical fish collection. He presents us with a bottle of English gin that looks like it dates from the 1990s. A gaggle of pensioners turns up, riding on scooters. As they dismount, the boss yells「黑道來了!」 ("the gangsters are here"). The pensioners all laugh.

    It's hard not to love #Pingtung.

  3. It has been such a delight this afternoon, hanging out in the 小陽 (Little Sun) bookshop here in #Pingtung, in the south of #Taiwan.

  4. Some heavy-duty theological content in this mural spotted in Pingtung, Taiwan.

    (Fall and redemption. Genesis meets Chris de Burgh...)

  5. While we source things like drying racks, we're making use of our local launderette. So this is my office for the morning while I work on a long-overdue book proposal. I'm being well looked-after—Mr. Liu from the coffee shop next door has just brought me a free hand-drip coffee.

    (The proposal is for a book about the writer Liu Xie 劉勰, and I'm taking the uncanny coincidence of surnames as auspicious.)

  6. Like everyone and everything else, we're going south. Specifically, to the city of Pingtung. We'll be installed in our new place by tomorrow evening.

  8. TIL #Pingtung County is home to #Taiwan's largest Catholic event: parading Mary on a float carried by men on their shoulders, with fire crackers lit along the street, as if it were a Taoist temple parade of Mazu, the sea goddess revered in the Hoklo culture.

  9. Oh look! Everyone's still here! I've not been on Mastodon for a while. But it's good to be back.

    To celebrate being back, here are some Christmassy bears, going fishing in the park in #Pingtung, #Taiwan.

  11. It looks as if attacks from a fleet are imminent.

    天氣條件跟空品配合得好到可以看到台灣海峽,是我走這麼多躺來首遇。

    無敵艦隊正準備來犯,我們打算用雲來淹。

  12. Forest Exhalations

    As trekking up, I met a couple of hikers going down. Some of them had a common question for me: 'it's been such late hours! '
    I understood what they meant and my reply was a simple 'yes.'
    Their late hours are my right hours. Sometimes a simple hello and smile would be good enough.

  13. Long-Keng Ecological Protective Area with geology significance

    It's uplifted coral reef grows 0.5 cm every year because of collision of euro-asia plate and philippine plate.

  14. What the wonderful world: the path to the paradise.
    Since the upgrade of covid-19 preventative measures, 6 months had passed and I had stoped hiking until that day in 2021. I was not fit enough that I walked as slowly as a tortoise and because of that I arrived at the right place, at the right time. So, why rushed?
    If the photo also gets you, I feel good (youtu.be/U-wZa6RZgQA?si=y_-P63).

  15. #Taiwan will start to feel the change in weather soon, thanks to #TropicalStorm #Danas! The CWA has just issued Land Typhoon Warning for #Chiayi, #Tainan, #Kaohsiung, #Pingtung, #HengchunPeninsula and #Penghu under an hour ago, and the warning areas are expected to extend northward throughout the next day or two. Much of the west coast will see > 80% chance of storm force wind conditions between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.

  17. It looks as if there were an alley leading to a pier where people could take a small boat floating on the sea and navigate under the moon.
